1. Cytoplasmic fragments in the haemolymph of newly emerged flies derive from the degenerating wing hypodermis. 2. At the time of eclosion, dorsal and ventral cell layers of the wing are connected by processes containing bundles of microtubules and microfilaments. Cytoplasmic fragments contain simil...
